A new vision for hospital design--current reflections via seven projects

World Hosp Health Serv. 2010;46(2):23-6.

Abstract

From Brittany to China, from Spain to Africa--one concept, seven places and many more in gestation. This concept not only deals with the assembly of thousands of rooms, the need for proximity, and medical constraints, it is the architecture that defines the spatial quality, the meaning of the project. The identity is renewed each time. In the domain of hospital design, and as we intend it, the architectural practice takes on its true value of utility and the architect his genuine role for the benefit of the society.
